Consolidation Refinancing
Interest rate: The fixed rate is the weighted average of the interest rates on the loans being consolidated, rounded up to the nearest one-eighth of one percent, leaving applicant with a slightly higher interest rate. Potentially lower interest rate: applicant can qualify for a lower interest rate, which may decrease their monthly payment or the cost of the loan. Loss of federal benefits : Private lenders do not offer the same federal repayment plans and refinanced loans are not eligible for federal forgiveness programs. Release a co-signer: If applicant needed a co-signer to initially apply, applicant may be able to get a new loan without a co-signer. There are private lenders that will refinance loans for international students under certain conditions. |
